I would say all over North Africa and the Middle East. There's also unrest and protests in places like Bahrain, Oman, and Iraq among other countries that are major oil producers. Libya is in far more chaos than the other counties, but I wouldn't be surprised if the prices are being affected in part because of what's taking place in the other countries as well.
